Ali

Content

ALI, 18-25 male, Farsi and/or Dari speaker (minimum age of applicant 18 years) Ali has a youthful face, a lively gaze and a delicate demeanour, yet he exudes strength. He is determined and quick on his feet. A young Afghan orphan born in Iran, he speaks Persian (so a young Iranian, who learns the lines in Dari could perfectly well play this role, although speaking Dari as well would be an advantage in order to stay as true as possible to the character). Ali works as a hairdresser in Tari’s salon in Athens to pay for his brother Azad’s (18) passage, as Azad is stuck in Turkey. . Throughout the film, he must show courage and will take on a greater role than he could ever have imagined following the disappearance of his boss, Tari.



AZAD (18-25) male, Farsi and/or Dari speaker (minimum age of applicant 18 years) Although a little older than Ali, Azad seems more fragile than his younger brother. He has a handsome face, obscured by thick, patched-up glasses, and his gaze seems sadder. Nevertheless, the two boys resemble one another. He is stranded in Istanbul, waiting to make his crossing. There, he leads the dangerous life of a migrant in transit and tries to find ways to cross on his own, but falls victim to a brutal scam.
